Facebook Launches Facebook Places in Singapore <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Singapore, 16 February 2011 \u2014 <\/strong>Facebook today announced the launch of Facebook Places in Singapore. Already available in some countries, Facebook Places allows you to \u201ccheck-in\u201d and share with your friends where you are and who you\u2019re with, find friends who are nearby and discover new places your friends like \u2013 all in real time.<\/p>\n

Facebook Places is available to users in Singapore with mobile access to the Facebook application for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, HP webOS, and Windows Phone 7, or to touch.facebook.com<\/a>. When you use Places, you’ll be able to see if any of your friends are currently checked in nearby and connect with them easily. You can also check into nearby Places to tell your friends where you are, tag your friends in the Places you visit together, and view comments your friends have made about the Places you visit.<\/p>\n

How to use Facebook Places?<\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Go to the \u201cPlaces\u201d icon within the Facebook mobile applications or touch.facebook.com<\/a>, then tap the \u201cCheck In\u201d button, which will pull up a list of places near you.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Choose the place that matches where you are. If there isn\u2019t one already in the list, users can search for it or create a new one.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tap the \u201cCheck in\u201d button to share that you are at the place. Users can also add comments and tag friends.<\/p>\n

With Places, users are in control of what they share and with whom they share. They choose whether or not to share their location when they check in at a place, and only friends can see when they do, unless users choose to set their privacy setting otherwise. When users check in, they can tag friends who are with them but only if their settings allow it. When they are tagged, they are always notified.<\/p>\n

Places is currently available in the United States, Japan, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.<\/p>\n
